What DO they teach them at schools??

[Mrs Coach]

Helped out in Biggest Baby Coach's class today. They're studying WW2 and were colouring in the flags of the warring countries.
We chatted about what the symbols on the flags were - but when we got to the German one I said "that bad symbol was called the swastika - does anyone know what it represented?" (thinking they would know that Hitler was in the Nazi party)
One little boy put his hand up and said "Good Luck?"
..........
I think maybe he related it to a four leaf clover......
I hope so anyway!!!!.......

I hope you leaned across and hit him round the head with a blackboard rubber

The swastika (from Sanskrit स्वस्तिक svastika, from su "well", and asti "being", thus "good fortune" or "well-being").

Your so right. Perhaps he was just very very clever.

 

[Mrs Coach]

Les - is that for real, or are you winding me up??!!

Actually some British planes during the First World War had a swastika on the fuselage for good luck.

Seriously, its from Wikipedia. I believe the Swastika was originally a Hindu symbol and thats what it meant.

 

[Mrs Coach]

BHA - you're kidding?!

What he said - it's true

 

[Frutos]

Les does indeed speak the truth.

It was/is a Hindu symbol of peace that the Nazis bastardized.

Indeed. The Indian High Commission building in Aldwych has swatstikas carved on its side.

 

[Les Biehn]

The boy is clearly a genius.

The boy is clearly a genius.

And is now entitled to hit Mrs C around the head with the aformentioned blackbord rubber. Sorry Mrs C, but theys the rules.

 

[Scotty Mac]

wow - what a clever chap

 

[Mrs Coach]

You guys are a wealth of pub quiz knowledge! You should start a team!

 

[Les Biehn]

So if you told him he was wrong you were technically unlearning him.

 

[Mrs Coach]

Hans - I'll bow my head before him in shame!

 

[Les Biehn]

Perhaps we should get that kid along, we would clean up.

No, seriously, as a spotty child I was very into warplanes and history and I was a bit surprised when I saw a picture of one such plane.

 

[Mrs Coach]

Hehehehe, he's a cheeky little oik. If I tell him he was right, I'd never hear the last of it!

 

[Les Biehn]

Sorry coach but I think he officially owns you.
